A couple in Nyeri county was found dead on 17th March in their home after they commited suicide following cancellation of their planned wedding ceremony.

Neighbours noticed that they didn’t see the couple in the compound since morning. Upon checking on them, they found their lifeless bodies hanging in the house.

“I had gone to check on my friend to check the progress of the wedding. The front door was closed. I tried knocking several times but there was no response. The car was outside, so I knew they were inside. I got in through the back door and found their bodies hanging from the top of the roof” A friend to the couple told 254splash.co.ke.
